Protesters shout slogans after defacing the seal of the U.S. Embassy in Manila, Philippines during a rally early Monday, April 16, 2012, to coincide with the opening of the annual joint military exercise dubbed “Balikatan 2012” or Shoulder-to-Shoulder between U.S. and Philippine troops. The protesters are also calling for the abrogation of the Visiting Forces Agreement which allows the US troops’ presence in the country.
